Watch: NBC Sports brings an American coach to London to manage Tottenham

A few months ago NBC Sports announced that they had acquired the U.S. broadcast TV rights to the English Premier League. This came on top of the deal NBC signed to carry MLS games - leaving many fans of the game happy to see such a large media outlet dedicating resources to the sport.

NBC's coverage of the Premier League starts on Saturday, August 17 and to drum up enthusiasm and awareness, their films division sent actor / comedian Jason Sudeikis to London to coach Tottenham. What entailed was a comedic video of an American football coach trying to coach the other football in Europe.
